Two ways to read the storm

How Heavener saw the hail — from two instruments

Each storm gets two readings: the radar signatures NEXRAD recorded as the cells passed overhead, and a modeled estimate of hail size in the air. They are independent surfaces, so a mismatch between them is expected — and worth reading.

NEXRAD radar signatures

The point detections NEXRAD recorded overhead. Each signature marks where the radar saw hail aloft — it is a detection, not a stone measured on the ground.

Only the NEXRAD radar-signature surface resolved for Jul 4, 2026 — the estimated-size swath had no hail signal to model for this storm, so there is one map to show, not two.

The storm in context

Where Jul 4, 2026 sits in Heavener's hail record

This was Heavener's 7th recorded hail day, arriving 32 days after the Jun 2, 2026 storm. By severity it ranks 5th of the 8 storms we have logged here. Radar put the day's largest stone over Heavener at 0.75" — the largest NEXRAD radar signature.

The Jul 4, 2026 convective day was bigger than Heavener: the same system put hail over 2,035 other tracked cities, 231 of them in Oklahoma. Nearest: Poteau (21 miles north, up to 1"); Hatfield (24 miles southeast, up to 1"); Cove (30 miles south, up to 0.75").

These maps are stills from Heavener's Jul 4, 2026 storm. In the Overview app the same surfaces are live — radar updating in real time, radar-estimated hail size as it forms, and NWS spotter reports pinned where they're filed — with a radar replay you can scrub back over any past day.

Ground reports

What people on the ground reported

These are storm reports filed with the National Weather Service and released through the NOAA Storm Prediction Center — public-domain observations from spotters, the public, and NWS surveys. We quote each one exactly as filed.

No ground reports were filed with the National Weather Service for this storm over Heavener. That is common: a report depends on someone being there to see it and take the time to call it in. The radar surfaces above are the record here — the storm was detected from above even though no one on the ground logged it.

Near the severe threshold

What 0.75" hail means for Heavener roofs

Hail this size sits right at the edge of the National Weather Service severe threshold. Newer roofs usually shrug it off, but aging or already-worn shingles can bruise, and soft metals — vents, flashing, gutters — often show the first dents.

What this storm is worth to a roofer

$324K

Other storms in Heavener

A storm day here is a convective day — it runs from noon to noon UTC, so late-night hail is grouped with the afternoon storm that spawned it rather than split across two calendar dates. Ground reports are public-domain observations from the NOAA Storm Prediction Center. Radar surfaces are detections and estimates, not confirmed damage. Last updated Aug 2, 2026.
